CONVENTIONAL CANDLES

Paraffin has been the wax of choice for many years due to how inexpensive it is.  In addition, artificial dyes and fragrances are usually formulated specifically for paraffin wax, simplifying the manufacturing process.  However, paraffin (a petroleum derivative) is known for releasing nasty chemicals into the air and being non-renewable.  Consider that you are burning petroleum and known carcinogens and toxins, allowing the smoke and toxic chemicals to permeate the air in your home.  Paraffin candles may look pretty and smell good, but they are not a clean-burning option.

 

ALTERNATIVES TO PARAFFIN

You have probably noticed alternatives to paraffin like soy, palm and coconut oil have gained popularity recently.  However, they create a host of challenges.  Many are not sustainable, a large portion contain pesticides, and most require additives in order to make shipping and storage possible.   

100% pure beeswax candles, continue to be the clean-burning mainstay.  While they are a little more expensive, they generally burn twice as long as paraffin.  They are natural, non-toxic, hypoallergenic, bright, and smoke free.  In fact, they are a great air purifier, which is the opposite of their toxic counterparts.

 

OUR COMMITMENT

Our beeswax candles are in one of their purest forms.  They are 100% pure beeswax, with no paraffin or additives.  They are lightly filtered so that they burn clean, but still have the natural scent of honey and color of pollen.  The wicks are 100% cotton wicks, with no lead.  They are also made in the USA, and the beeswax comes from beekeepers around the United States.
